Question 1 (08-28-2011): I don't understand your book. It looks like sci-fi to me. What is it about?
[This is the answer to Question 1 (08-28-2011): This eBook is about the future, and it is about the human condition as of 2012. Will future life on Earth be more like Heaven, or will it be more like Hell? This eBook takes the position that humans are empowered with the intelligence to choose their fate. This eBook places a spotlight on some possible activities and events that could lead to a heavenly future for humans, and it places a spotlight on other kinds of activities and events that could lead to a hellish future for humans on Earth. The book implores humans to choose life over extinction. In choosing life, the book further implores humans to choose the civilized way of life. Among other things, the civilized way of life entails acceptance of a value system characterized by democratic political institutions, free market economic institutions, the scientific educational method, and individual liberties within the rule of law (including the freedom of religious worship). The Age of Homo Sapiens Sapiens is both a state of mind and a new way of living. The Age of Homo Sapiens Sapiens also reflects an acknowledgment of the unique role of humans in the natural world.
With respect to the human condition and the fate of the human species, the central themes that recur throughout the book are these:
- Time To Get It Together (Marvin Gaye)
- Hang It Up (Patrice Rushen)
- U Turn (Joe Sample)
- Turn It Into Something Good (Earth, Wind & Fire)
- Do Yourself A Favor (Stevie Wonder)
- Change (Barry White)
- Expansions (Lonnie Liston Smith)
- Think (Curtis Mayfield)
In particular, the time has come for children all over the world to get Serious (Jermaine Jackson) about their school studies, that is, if they are to hasten the arrival of futuristic living on Earth.]

Question 2 (03-03-2012): When I click on the link to preview the print version of the book, I receive a message that says, "Publication Not Available." What happened? What's going on? What's up with that message?
[This is the answer to Question 2 (03-03-2012):] Nothing happened and nothing is going on except when an edit has been submitted, there is a little lag time from when the edit is submitted to when the edit is incorporated into the book. When FastPencil receives an edit, it momentarily suspends or removes the book from sale until it processes the edit. The link should work again as soon as FastPencil incorporates the edit into the book.
